Thermogenics: The Fat Burning Supplement

Summer is here y'all! Let’s discuss one of the best fat burning supplements: Thermogenics. This is the workout supplement that folks in the fitness world (especially bodybuilders and fitness models) usually point to when it comes to getting ripped.

What Exactly is a Thermogenic Fat Burner?

The term thermogenic refers to the natural process of thermogenesis, which is the process of expending energy (calories) to produce heat and maintain bodily functions. Every human being goes through this process daily.

Thermogenics are considered “fat burners” as it targets stubborn body fat. This supplement raises your body temperature internally; therefore, raising your metabolism. In turn, this will burn a lot of calories. The main ingredient in most theromogenics is caffeine, along with a variety of herbal ingredients.

Can Thermogenics Help Burn Fat Alone?

Ummm…no. There is no way around burning body fat without at least moderate diet and exercise. Trying to take a thermogenic while eating an unhealthy diet and maintaining a sedentary lifestyle will lead you towards weight loss misery. However, for the individual who exercises regularly and eats a (mostly) healthy diet, yet is having issues losing the last 10-15 pounds, a thermogenic fat burner may be the answer.

What to Look for In a Quality Thermogenics Supplement?

Let’s face it: There’s a lot of health supplements that aren’t worth s**t. Thermogenics aren’t any different. However, there are some thermogenics that are worth your hard-earned dollars. The quality ones provide these four ingredients:

Caffeine

Caffeine is the gas to thermogenics’ engine. However, the best ones do not overload on caffeine. (Note: Too much caffeine can make your energy levels crash or cause jitters) Caffeine not only provides energy, but helps increase thermogenesis to help burn more calories during the day. Also, studies suggest that caffeine can suppress hunger for a few hours.

Green Tea Extract

This potent ingredient is what separates the pretenders from the contenders, as far as thermogenic supplements. Green tea extract has been scientifically proven to help people lose weight. Green tea is a great source of antioxidants—called catechins—that help support immune function, cardiovascular health, and fat loss.

Cayenne Powder

If you ever use cayenne pepper to cook food, you already know that it is spicy as heck! That same spiciness is what makes it a superb fat-loss ingredient. Cayenne has been shown to give the body a natural thermogenic boost when consumed.

Higenamine

This ingredient is one you won’t find in just any rinky-dink thermogenic product. Higenamine (also known as Norcoclaurine) is receiving attention from the dietary supplement community, as a potential fat-burning and energy supplement. It is an herb that research suggest helps boost the metabolism.

Conclusion

Buying a thermogenic is like buying a car, you better check what’s going on inside it first. Getting a thermogenic that has all four of those ingredients is essential. One product that has them (and other fat-burning ingredients as well) is Inferno. I recommend checking out this thermogenic if you desire to lose the last 10-15 pounds of stubborn fat.
